In that patch AUTOFIRE had supression. So you had long range, auto tracking indirect supression. That's a lot different than barrage applied supression. In timing, in duration and in counter play.
I actually thing supression on late game indirect would do well
Yeah I agree, and I think it's uniquely suited to the b4 due to the low number of shells
I'm not so sure about the other howies just cause their # of shells is so much higher that brings back memories of the autofire suppression
Add to the fact that people often get multiple lefh/ml20s in team games and it feels like there might be suppression everywhere again. If they were fully reworked I would like to see suppression as a part of that though, it just makes too much sense
